Point Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Cline and Copilot at one OpenAI-compatible endpoint and let 9Router route across 40+ LLM providers. It falls back automatically when a provider hits its limit, and it runs in your own cloud account with no per-request fee.
9Router is an open-source smart router that sits between your AI coding tools and your model providers. It exposes one OpenAI-compatible endpoint, translates requests between OpenAI, Claude and Gemini formats, tracks quota and refreshes tokens. When a provider runs out, it falls back from subscription to low-cost to free providers so your tools keep working.
Every OpenAI-compatible tool uses the same base URL and API key.
Free tiers, paid subscriptions or your own Anthropic, OpenAI and Google keys.
Subscription, then low-cost, then free, without stopping your tool.
Converts between OpenAI, Claude and Gemini request formats.
Compresses tool output to cut input tokens.
Keeps an eye on usage and refreshes provider tokens for you.
Running 9Router properly needs a streaming-friendly reverse proxy, SSL, persistent storage and a hardened server. The marketplace image ships that stack wired together.
Subscribe on AWS Marketplace or Google Cloud Marketplace, set your domain, admin email and initial dashboard password, and deploy.
Point your domain at the server, open the dashboard and log in with the initial password (there is no username). Change it straight away.
Add at least one provider: a free tier such as Kiro AI, a paid subscription, or your own API key.
Copy the API key from the Endpoint page, set your tool's base URL to https://your-domain/v1 and choose a model as provider/model.
An AMI on AWS Marketplace, launched into your own AWS account with a CloudFormation stack.
Launch on AWS 
The same gateway as a Google Cloud Marketplace image, deployed into your own GCP project.
Launch on Google Cloud | 9Router by Meetrix | OpenRouter | LiteLLM (self-managed) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hosting | Your AWS account or GCP project | OpenRouter's cloud, no self-host option | Your own server, set up by you |
| Pricing model | Flat instance rate, no per-request fee | A fee on every credit purchase | Free core, but you carry compute and ops |
| Automatic fallback | Subscription to low-cost to free, out of the box | No multi-tier fallback between your own accounts | Possible, with rules you maintain |
| Setup | Minutes from the marketplace | Instant signup | Hours: Docker, database, nginx, SSL |
Your connected providers still bill you for tokens, as they would without a router. Read the full 9Router on AWS comparison →
An open-source smart router between your AI coding tools and your model providers. It exposes one OpenAI-compatible endpoint, translates between OpenAI, Claude and Gemini formats, tracks quota and falls back automatically when a provider runs out.
More than 40. Start with a free tier such as Kiro AI, connect a paid subscription, or add your own API key for Anthropic, OpenAI or Google. 9Router routes across everything you connect.
Copy your API key from the Endpoint page in the dashboard, set the tool's base URL to https://your-domain/v1 and pick a model in the form provider/model. Any OpenAI-compatible tool works the same way.
Use the initial password you set at deployment; the username field is not used. Change the password from the dashboard after your first login.
Roughly 20-40% of input tokens, by compressing tool output before it reaches the model. The exact saving depends on how verbose your tools' output is.
State lives in SQLite on a persistent disk and survives restarts. The helper script /opt/scripts/dbbackup.sh takes a gzipped backup (to your S3 bucket on AWS), but it is not scheduled, so run it yourself or add a cron entry.
t3a.small on AWS or e2-small on Google Cloud is enough for one user or a small team. Choose a larger machine for heavy concurrent traffic.
On the server in your own AWS account or GCP project. Provider keys, routing rules and request history stay there, not on Meetrix's infrastructure or a third-party billing layer.
One endpoint for every AI coding tool you use.
Launch the stack, connect a provider and wire up your CLI tools.
Deploy 9Router on Google Cloud and route every coding tool through it.
We build and run self-hosted AI infrastructure for teams every day, from provider routing to self-hosted models. Tell us what you need.
